My body, my choice AND unfair play :) I am in favor of letting athletes do what they want but I am also pretty convinced this is not "fair" anymore and whoever enters that game better understand that "training" is probably not the way you win anymore.

I think that's incorrect about training. Raw strength is only going to get you so far, a mastered technique gives efficiencies beyond that. In every event, you're not going to see Rich Piana size dudes and women competing. At some point added bulk is going to be a detriment to performance.

This is a good point. Size comes with drawbacks. And the drugs only work if you do

on the other hand though, performance enhancements are not limited to drugs that help you put on muscle. lance armstrong's doping was solely for better recovery, he upped his red blood cell count to get more o2 in his muscles

exactly, epo and blood doping with blood taken from training at higher elevations. There are so many additional possibilities to performance enhancement beyond muscle builders. Delta has a cocktail they give their units to maximize 3 day mission potential. None of it is anabolic based as far as I have been told.
